cargo flight
Goods-only aircraft trip
A cargo flight is an aircraft journey dedicated to transporting goods rather than passengers.
The plane may carry freight exclusively, or the term distinguishes commercial shipping runs from passenger service on the same route: The airline operates three cargo flights daily between Memphis and Shanghai.
